Policymakers

The International Trade Centre offers tools and channels to facilitate dialogue and support between and among small businesses, policymakers, ecosystem actors, funders and partners.

    Informed decision making

    We at ITC support national and regional government actors to develop integrated and comprehensive trade development strategies and to make their policy and regulatory environments more favourable for micro, small and medium-sized businesses.  

    We provide access to information on trade dynamics, market access conditions and growth potential, possible business partners and business operations. We build on our long-standing expertise in data collection and management to provide tools that support informed and evidence-based business decisions, policymaking and advocacy.  

    We regularly add new information and cutting-edge research and analysis on topics at the forefront of global trade and development, including foreign direct investment, sustainability standards, digitalization and services trade regulations
